Do you know who're the sole forces seeing combat in Afghanistan right now? It's only SOF. Special operations forces fucking LOVE war. No complaints will be coming from soldiers on this one. No one cares how the war started, as long as they get their share. Mandatory service or the draft would drastically change our nations awareness, but in what situation would either of those happen? We're within months of the day when kids born after 9/11 can serve in the military. We could have (maybe-of for shit's sake I can't get the formatting to work properly, google Jim Gants One tribe at a time) won this at one point. Instead we repeat the same mistakes day after day. Let it become a radical safehaven(to a point). It's the endstate no matter what and it's better to cut our ties and stop bleeding ourselves dryMany have probably forgotten (or never knew) how America’s involvement in Afghanistan even started — including some of the troops now being sent there.
